I can't seem to figure out what's going on, because to me the graphics look virtually identical to 21 and 20. I've also noticed the FPS Lock option just isn't working at all. Even when I tell it to lock the FPS to 60, it stays well above 60 in the menus and at times goes above 60 in-game... no idea what's up with that. The only way I can seem to truly get a 60 FPS lock is to turn on Vsync, which only makes the game that much more demanding and causes me to see even more sub-60 drops.

It's slower than Madden 21 and more system demanding on the PC from what I'm seeing.

Yeah. I literally can't do anything else on my computer when the game is running.

Everything is slow. Excel and web browsers freeze.

Opposite for me, Madden 21 did not run well at all on my PC and to get it to run well I had to turn graphics down a good bit until at that point the XSX and PS5 simply was a better alternative to play.

This year however Madden 22 runs fantastic on my system and looks a lot better than 21 as well.

LOL..Okay
Looks are one thing, system resources are another, runs fantastic on mine also, it's just slower between menus. I ran Madden 21 on max and 22 as well.

I'll take it there has been no progress in from anyone in getting the game to launch - hoping they will eventually patch it or a graphic driver update might sort but they don't seem interested in doing anything about it. There is a school of thought that it is a problem on some Intel processors with running the game.

This really rings a bell when Madden first came back to PC. Was it setting the affinity in task manager that helped? I can't recall exactly but this all sounds very familiar.

This sucks, I'm thankful I don't have this issue. No issues loading the game, I have an Intel processor.
I did have this problem when Madden 19 came out for the PC
